A compact, heavy display face with thick strokes and aggressively irregular contours. Letterforms read as hand-rendered or stamped, with ragged edges, torn-looking terminals, and occasional interior nicks that create a worn, blotchy silhouette. The rhythm is intentionally uneven: widths and sidebearings vary from glyph to glyph, counters are small and sometimes pinched, and curves wobble rather than forming perfect bowls. Overall proportions stay fairly tall and condensed, giving lines a dense, poster-like texture even at moderate sizes.
Best used at display sizes where the distressed edges can be appreciated without compromising legibility. It suits posters, album or single artwork, event flyers, game or film titles, and short, high-impact headlines that benefit from a rough, analog texture.
The texture and roughness convey a loud, gritty attitude—more underground flyer than polished branding. It suggests intensity and disorder, with a slightly menacing edge that can lean toward horror, punk, or DIY grunge depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush lettering or worn print, prioritizing expressive texture over typographic refinement. Its condensed, heavy forms and irregular edges are geared toward creating instant visual impact and a deliberately imperfect, gritty aesthetic.
In paragraph samples the distressed outline becomes a dominant graphic pattern, so readability drops quickly at small sizes or in long passages. The all-caps set feels especially forceful, while the lowercase retains the same rough treatment and maintains a consistent handmade character.
